Frequently Asked Questions
We have been supporting UK accountants and businesses since 2011. We started with six people and are now a team of more than 500, headquartered in the UK with offices in London, Australia and India. We work with over 150 practices and around 25,000 end clients, and bring more than 15 years of industry experience.
We are an ACCA Approved Employer and were recognised with the ACCA award for Innovation in Learning and Development 2025-26.
Our delivery team is based offshore and works UK hours, so the work moves in step with your day, with onshore support for account level matters.
Your data is protected throughout. Records are stored on servers located within the UK and reachable only through secure VPN connections, and access is limited to the team members who need it for their work. All transfers run through secure, encrypted channels that are actively monitored, with uploads and downloads restricted to authorised routes only. This is part of how we stay GDPR compliant.
We are an ACCA Approved Employer, and our team is Xero and QuickBooks certified. We were also recognised with the ACCA award for Innovation in Learning and Development 2025-26.
Across everything we do, we are fully GDPR compliant, with controls over how your data is stored, accessed and shared.
We offer three pricing structures, so you can choose the one that suits your practice.
Hourly: you set a budgeted number of hours, we complete the work within that budget and invoice on the hours used. If no budget is set, we work as efficiently as possible and charge for the actual hours.
Fixed Monthly Fee: we agree a defined scope and volume of work, which can cover bookkeeping, VAT returns, year-end accounts, CT returns, payroll or personal tax, and you pay a single fixed fee each month, so cost is predictable.
Dedicated Team Member: we allocate a specific person to your practice for a fixed monthly fee. This suits a consistent ongoing workload that benefits from the same person handling your jobs each month.
Most firms save up to 50% on cost. The bigger gain is capacity. Your routine jobs get done on a predictable schedule by a trained team, with faster turnaround and the room to absorb busy periods such as Self Assessment season.
Because the team runs on UK hours, the work progresses in step with your day. That frees your time for the core work of your practice, while your records stay accurate, up to date and handled through GDPR-compliant controls.
Our team works across the main UK accounting and tax software, including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, IRIS, TaxCalc, FreeAgent, KashFlow, Nomi, CCH, Absolute, Digita and more. We are also Xero and QuickBooks certified.
